/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I just finished watching DS9 Season 5 Episode 5 'The Assignment' and as much as I loved it, I couldn't believe the treatment they gave Keiko. It was a tense episode and I enjoyed seeing O'Brien getting psychologically tortured and I laughed at first at the treatment of Keiko but by the end of the episode I felt really bad about how she was portrayed.

The whole dragon lady dynamic is fun for a while but it gets old fast and you start feeling bad for the character.

I also loved the part in the episode where it's O'Brien's birthday and everyone instead sings 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow' ... it's a whole musical rights issue where someone has to be paid for the performance of the song 'Happy Birthday' which is why they didn't use it ... yet another torturous addition to the life of O'Brien.

Now you see why this season holds such a special place for me. The writing and characterization nods to TOS are very on point.

The team essentially used the same tech from Forrest Gump to insert the crew into the old footage. It could probably be cleaned up a bit now, but overall, holds up quite well.
